' bracket adapted to be slidably carried by a guide shaft 2, themarking pins 3 being connected to the marking pin carrier 4, by means of set screws 5, the marking pin earvrier 4 being in turn attached to a sliding block pin carrier guide 6, the carrier guide 6 merely passes through the central connecting hingel joint 7 Vof the space adjusting bracket 1. It is clear that this arrangement provides a means for keeping the marking pins or points 3 in exact alignment thereby making it possible to use a double row of marking pins or points.

The space adjusting bracket shaft 2` is rotatably mounted at the ends thereof as at 8 andi) in bracket shaftcranks 10 and 11.

An adjusting bracket shaft rocker arm 12 is keyed at one end of the shaft 2 by means of a set screw 13 or otherwise. To the rocker armv 12 is loosely mounted as at 14 by means of a machine screw or other Stilclnlolook 2 1, which: is adiustablry arranged 'bygfmoaw'of Slotsw @1101123 and- .So.1".oWS 24v l and- 25 iny slid-mg!y relationship with the stand;

On one of the roller spindles 48 is keyed an ink receptacle feed ratchet, comprising` members 38 and 39,

able mannerby VI-'neansaofV brackets 37l or lwhich are caused to function by means of a lever arm40, keyed tospindle 43 adjacent mesh with the ratchet member 38 pivoted to the lever 40, whenever the lever arm moves a connecting rod 42 isloosely mounted at one endof the lever 40 as at 41, the

rod extending a suitable distance to contact with a cam' portion 49, attached to the treadle 35 extensions 50. i A tension spring 51 may be located in such a manner that on the pressing ofthe treadle 35 by the foot or otherwise, the lower end of the rod 42 will be vreleased and the lever arm 40 will f be drawn downward by means of the spring 5,1. It is to be understood that the means fluid 47 herein described is only one of several methods, and that this invention is in no manner limited to any one specific inking device.

In operation this invention provides a machine capable'of equally spacing and marking for both button and button-holes at the same time, regardless of the length of the garment on the machine table; this is accomplished by simply laying the garment or other material on the machine table as illustrated in Fig. 2, adjusting the slide bracket to any length desired, press on the tread member thereby rocking the bracket downward and marking the garment, by merelyY relieving the pressure on the tread the bracket returns to the ink pad or belt. Obviously,thisinvention provides a great saving of labor.

It is apparent that the marking pins or points 3 in this invention are connected to a marking pin carrier 4 by means of set screws 5. The carrier 4 is attached to the sliding block pin carrier 6 which passes loosely through the space adjusting bracket 1, 'the elements 6 being'slidably mounted on the adjusting guide bracket shaft 2, therefore, providing a device which will maintain at all times the pins or marking points in exact alignment lone with the other, allowing 'the use of multiple rows of marking pins. This is a marked improvement over other machines, wherein the marking pins are usually placed directlyon the spacing arrangement.

In order to space longitudinally it f -(is merelynecessary to slide the elements 6 the desired distance along shaft 2, and lock with a set screw or otherwise, obviously the trans verse spacing for reasons above set forth will not be disturbed thereby.

What we claim is:

l. A 4device comprising amultiple marker, a collapsible bracket supported on a suitable portion'of the device, marking fingerholders connected to the bracket and marking iingers in the holders, the collapsible bracket being adapted for adjusting the distance between the finger holders and maintaining them in adjusted position, means for inking the marking lingers consisting of an ink receptacle, a revolvable ink pad in the receptacle, and means for revolving said ink pad and for bringing the marking fingers in contact with the ink pad and for returning thc fingers to the position for marking. Y

2. A device comprising a multiple marker, a collapsible bracket supported on a suitable portion of the device, marking finger holders connected to the bracket, marking fingers supported in said holders the collapsible bracket being adapted for adjusting kthe disu tance between the finger holders and maintaining them in adjusted position, means for inking the marking lingers consisting of au ink receptacle, a revolvable ink pad in the receptacle, and means for revolving said inl; pad and for bringing the marking fingers in contact with the ink pad and for returning the fingers 'to the position for marking.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures. p Y
